Cab driver Murai told the board, "I don't want advertising in my backseat," in regard to the credit card terminals the MTA has implemented as a payment option. She also said she thinks the 5 percent transaction fee is unfair.

A driver asked the board when taxis would see fare increases approved in May, and Chairman Tom Nolan said there had been delays in implementation. He said the increases would be discussed at an August 2 board meeting.

Tariq Mehmood, who headed the taxi demonstration this afternoon through his group Cabbies Helping Cabbies, asked that Chris Hayashi, Deputy Director for Taxi Services, and Chief Financial Officer Sonali Bose resign from the SFMTA.
